5000 Nights of Obsession: A Twisted Gatsby Story (Tales of Obsession Book 1) Kindle Edition
- Obsessed celebrity anti-hero
- Dark and Forbidden
- Interracial Relationship
- The Great Gatsby Retelling
I recognized his smell lingering within my home.
I even sensed his presence in my sleep.
It was too late by the time I found the monster hiding under my bed. He had wedged himself into my life, cornering me with nowhere to run.
The worst part?
The world adored him, but no one knew the devil lurking underneath the beautiful mask—no one except for me.
Manipulative, cold, and remorseless, Axel Trimalchio was a certified psychopath hiding in plain sight. He was fixated on me and would never stop chasing me. He was determined to make me his... even though I already belonged to someone else.

Editorial Reviews
"My review will not do this book justice. Can a sociopath be swoony? Axel’s so obsessed, so swoony, so invested in Piya that I couldn’t help but be a little bit jealous. He’s O. B. S. E. S. S. E. D! Overall, I loved this and it's a book that will stay with me forever." - Sonia, Goodreads reviewer
"Many have tried and failed; the author just broke me. It's only happened a handful of times. This book is absolutely a masterpiece." - Crystal, Goodreads reviewer
"My heart is in ruins. I don’t think I have read a more intriguing book than this one. Drethi, you have ruined me and put me back together all in the span of 300 pages." - Anna, Goodreads reviewer
"I cried a bit before writing this, I'm still high on emotions. Ending killed me (in a good way)." - Dee Van, Goodreads reviewer
"7 Lifetimes… From the moment they laid eyes on one another there was a magnetic pull. Axel and Piya were always meant to meet and be all consuming." - XxnightxowlxX74, Goodreads reviewer
"There is just no way to do justice to this book. No way! You will feel all kinds of messed up emotions while reading 5000 Nights of Obsession and you’ll more than likely cherish every single page. This is a 10star book for me." - Basak, Goodreads reviewer

- Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2023Another perfect Drethi Anis dark romance. She is an auto buy for me now and this book is yet another example of why I don't even need a blurb from this author to know her book is going to be an amazing thrill ride of a story!
This loose adaptation of The Great Gatsby (very loose) is signature Anis, dark and lush and heavy on character driven plot. It will get you in the feels, much like the original Gatsby, but there is an HEA, unlike the classic, though it is hard earned.
The hero is, as the author warns, flawed and not at all heroic, but if you ask me that is the believable aspect of his character. It makes him human. The heroine, too is flawed here and relatable in her tough decision making. The best thing about Ms. Anis is she writes real people with pretty believable problems. While her plots are exciting and 🔥 🥵 🌶, they aren't telenovellas, they could happen to everyday people, and her characters react in realistic ways.
This book was a joy to read and I can't wait for the next release from this author. Her stories just get better and better! I'll mark my calendar!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2024My 1st book by Drethi A. and definitely not my last. I enjoyed this book immensely. The alpha was THE H of all time. Up there with the psychotic dark boys like Shay, Carter & Quinton. 😮💨 let me fan myself.
This story grabbed me from page one and I loved how it went to the past and present, telling their story. How unhinged the H Axel was. How he literally shaped his entire LIFE around the h and how to get/keep her. Out of control touch her and unalive you vibes that were on a hair trigger.
He is my dream man 🫠😍.
Then we have our h Pyia who was a little sheltered, a little naive but also a little wolf and an adrenaline junky to book. These two seemed like opposites but alas…they couldn’t be more compatible as their chemistry was chiefs kiss for real. I couldn’t get enough of Axels’ possessiveness. It was hot AF.
All in all, this story kept me enthralled from page one and that’s hard to do as I’m picky AF. I’m glad this popped up on my feed as it’s a perfect read for me. I can’t wait to see what’s up next with the new character that we met in this book. Should be interesting for sure.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2023This one got a lot of push in my book groups. I literally had it on my reading list multiple times. I was duped. I saved it for a time when i could read it from start to finish in one sitting in anticipation and I did not love it. Maybe I hopped it up too much in my head cause all the references were probably the only parts I found appealing. I was disappointed. The H was lovely and had so much potential. Absolutely magnificent character. Instead of basing a story around him he was left as a side character to people who could not carry the story quite as well. There were a couple decent ones Poppy, Levi, Jordan even Jay. They could’ve enriched a story about the H, instead of using him to enrich the h story. I’m actually bugged by this. Waste of a good H.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2023You know that moment when you finish a book and it leaves you speechless…but you want to rush to write a review that captures exactly how you feel in the moment??? To put into words all your emotions in an attempt to do it justice…but you can’t… because you’re speechless?!?! 🤩😱🥹
Well this is definitely one of those books…and I’d be lying if I said I was able to write this review in one shot. My first attempt was fragments of thoughts and feelings expressing my awe of this story (with lots of gushing over Axel). Second was even more gushing over Axel. And the third is what you’re reading now (no surprise, but expect more swooning over Axel). #sorrynotsorry
I wish I could put into words just how perfect this book was from beginning to end. Though I’ll admit I was a little worried when I saw the main character was married and that this was a twisted Gatsby story (emphasis on the twisted)…I had faith in this author and not only did she not let me down, she really outdid herself with this one. 👏 👏 👏
I devoured this book and although I rarely do rereads, this will be a book I come back to time and time again.
Axel is truly in a category all on his own. The ch0k€hold this man has on me in unparalleled...and I don’t want him to ever let go! 🤩 His level of 0bs€ssion for Piya was absolute perfection! He is laser focused on her from the first time he sees her and never stops manipulating and plotting to make her his. She's the one thing that can make him lose control despite the years of mastering restraint. The mask he presents to the world only cracks when something stands between him and his 0bs€ssion (even if that person is Piya herself) and d4mn did I swoon every time that happened. 😏🥵
I’m not ashamed to admit that I'm as 0bs€ssed with Axel as he is for Piya (and for the first time in my life I found myself j€a|ous of a fictional heroine even though I absolutely LOVED her). Piya herself was such a complex character. I wish I could go into her story more but it would give away some major spoilers. But I will say she is a character she's easily cemented herself as one of my all time favorite heroines.
This story was absolutely amazing!!! From the deliciously swoonworthy 0bs€ssion that Axel has for Piya and the complexity of the characters and their relationships, it's definitely one of the most intriguing and captivating books I have ever read. Truly a book that will forever live rent free in mind and truly one of the best books I’ve read. I can’t recommend it enough.
If I could give this book 5000 stars I would.
*Please keep in mind the tr!gger warning and that there is infidelity in this book (NOT between the H and h)

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow
Mindblown. Só many twists and turns and the most epic story. I really loved this one. Honestly, many scenes were.... how do I say it?.... questionable? But I loved it and it all made sense in the end

5.0 out of 5 stars Obsessed
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶.75
Is Axel obsessed with Piya? I like to refer to it as scary unfiltered love. I loved every minute of how unhinged Axel is. There is a lot of thought put into the background and psyche of each character which allows you to gain a unique perspective of the different sides of a love story.
The story was well paced and had me devouring the whole book in record time. This book has some spicy scenes in it for sure, but it was not over the top and very appropriate for the story. We also love a retelling of a classic with a twist!
If you love reading about crazy, obsessive, unhinged, all consuming, gaslighting, severe touch and die love then this book, and Axel, is definitely for you.
- Aimee P.Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 18, 2024
5.0 out of 5 stars epic and sadistic love story
I loved and hated this book in equal measures. A twisted love story with so many surprises with each page turn. There are definitely triggers however the story so well written you don’t even notice most of them. I hated the ending, felt like it was cut off at its prime, but they were never going to have the typical HEA, it was always going to have the touch of darkness. Thank you for the words and the story!

4.0 out of 5 stars Es ist etwas Anderes
Wer sagt, Psychopathen können nicht lieben? Oder lieben sie nur anders? Dieses Buch ist gut geschrieben, spannend erzählt und hat einen unvorhersehbaren Verlauf. Natürlich passieren in dem Buch Dinge, die man im wahren Leben nicht akzeptieren und respektieren kann, sollte, darf, aber es ist eine Geschichte und als Fiction fand ich sie sehr nice. Es gab natürlich Aussagen, wo man die Augen verdreht, den Kopf schütteln oder schmunzeln muss. Doch war die Geschichte super. Auch der Verlauf war großartig. Ich kann es jedem nur empfehlen.

5.0 out of 5 stars New Obsession Unlocked
I don't know why I took more than 100 days to start this book. For real, because this book will take you on a journey of love both the soul catching fire and calming you in a storm kind.
The characters are so beautifully depicted and the development of the characters and the flow of the plot is superb.
